2: How do the Flavia Office Drink Stations differ?

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:47:25 +0000

The three office drink makers are the SB100 for small offices, the Creation 200 for medium offices, and the Creation 400 for large offices.

The SB100 sells for $199. It has the capacity to brew about 14 cups of coffee or tea before needing to have its water reservoir refilled (twice as many cups as the home brewers). However, the SB100 does not have the capability to make “Fusion” drinks (nor can it be direct plumbed to a water source). It can be purchased at us.myflavia.com.

The Creation 200 & 400 are both “Fusion” drink makers designed to be easy to use. They both can be direct plumbed to a water source, eliminating the need to refill them with water. The Creation 200 is more compact than the brewer for large offices and takes a few seconds longer to brew each Flavia drink. Both Creation drink stations are designed with energy-saving features. These two machines are sold through office coffee (OCS) distributors.

3: What about Keurig brewers for offices?

admin — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:25:41 +0000

Keurig offers three choices for brewing gourmet coffee or tea at work.

Designed for large offices, the B3000 is plumbed directly to a water line, so there’s no need to refill a water reservoir. This brewer automatically ejects each K-Cup into a waste storage bin after the cup is used. The B3000 has the flexibility to brew four different cup sizes/strengths and has a separate spigot that can be used for dispensing hot water.

The B200 has the flexibility to either be connected directly to a water source or to be used as a “pour over” brewer by simply filling the water reservoir built into the coffee maker. The Keurig B200 features two different cup size/brew strength options (6-oz. and 8-oz.) and, like the B3000, has the option of being used with a separate water filter. Both units are also vending compatible.

The B140 is used in small offices or as an auxiliary coffee maker in larger offices. The Keurig B140 can only be used as a “pour over” brewer; its built-in water reservoir holds 48 ounces, enough water for about six cups of coffee or tea. This coffee maker has four different cup size/brew strength choices.

Here’s a comparison chart for the three office brewers from Keurig.

Only authorized distributors sell Keurig coffee makers for offices. Most Keurig distributors offer commercial brewers for sale only in their local markets, so the easiest way to find the right distributor for your workplace is to request a free three-day trial directly from Keurig’s website. (Keurig co-ordinates all the requests, but the actual trial is conducted through a Keurig authorized distributor in your local area.)

One distributor (GreatOfficeCoffee.com) does sell the B140 and B200 brewers directly to small and medium sized offices nationwide over the Internet. GreatOfficeCoffee.com does not sell the B3000.
